Seeing Red

There is so much more to ‘red’ than meets the eye. Just look around! So for Debbi’s challenge I am offering a bit more than just the one word Sunday: Red

“If one could only catch that true color of nature – the very thought of it drives me mad.” – Andrew Wyeth

“The more an object is polished or brilliant, the less you see its own color and the more it becomes a mirror reflecting the color of its surroundings.” – Eugene Delacroix :

“If one says ‘red’ – the name of color – and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.” – Josef Albers

thank you Charley – am a bit of a quoteaholic (different surely from quotaholic) and find gallery posts an ideal way to slip them in. Their succinctness makes them more readily remembered and I especially found the Hoffman quote pertinent to how I am trying to train my photographic eye

How did I miss these?! Red, the color of passion, but these shots soothe. I sigh at their beauty. A sucker for the flower shots, but I am taken with the lighting of that apple and the motion at the end. Good job of ordering them!
